In each release of sales at Habitas Aurora, eligible buyers will have a 7-day Priority Access period during which they can make a purchase, before homes are made available to the general public.
Development Victoria’s affordable housing commitment.
For many Victorians, being able to own a home close to work, school and the services they need is out of reach.
At Development Victoria, we can help.
We make home ownership possible for more Victorians, with our range of affordable and high-quality homes catering for different budgets, lifestyles and people.
We aim to offer at least a quarter of the homes we build to households eligible for affordable housing, giving more people the opportunity to live where they want to be – at prices they can afford.
Are you eligible?
How does it work?
How much deposit do I need?
To purchase a home at Habitas Aurora you will require a 5% deposit on the land component and 5% deposit on the build component of the property.
It would be a good idea to get lending approval from your bank or financial institution to make sure you have enough of a deposit and can service your loan, before applying for Priority Access to our affordable homes offers.

- Your household annual gross income is less than:
- Single $73,530
- Couple $110,300
- Family $154,410
- You intend to live in your new home as principal place of residence; and
